Nothing wrong with them as in defective, I just find the AWs to last longer and be better quality. Its all a preference and situational thing. A lot of people use EFest and love them. My Biased Useless study I did over a month showed the AWs to last a couple hours longer than the EFest, both 18650s 2000mah. I have 6 of the 18650s in my rotation and 4 are AW and 2 are EFest. Its not like I dont use them, but will buy all AW or move up to a larger capacity Panasonic in the future.

I got 3 of mine from Brian at Veteran Vaper and then ordered another from Sweet-Vapes (realized I wanted 4) because I wanted a couple more AW IMR Batteries and Veteran only carries E-Fest. All the sites I trust are about the same $18.50-$18.95 and outside a co-op I think that is as good as you will do on genuine Kanger KPT 2s.

Bump when you get something in vape mail.

Got my new bottle of Endless Summer from Fuzion like always, 4 days after I ordered it. I am stocked up now, cannot see needing anything else for at least a month or more. I have finally hit the point I have everything I need, nothing else I want and now it is just maintaining liquids and coils. -
I agree, especially with some. I find the Dragons Tear transforms from one tank to the next. I never got much out of steeping until I tried more complex flavors I like. Same with Endless Summer from Fuzion. It comes in clear and in a week of steeping it is almost bright yellow and so flavorful. I finally get steeping I think.

I have never seen Sweet-Vapes out of KPT or T2S coils (5 for $5.95) or the Spinners. I am sure at times they do. DV is always out of everything I need, which is why I usually do straight to Sweet-Vapes for items Brian doesn't have at Veteran Vaper who is always my first choice.

I haven't had any issue with the things I need.

After 4 months of continuous use once of my wifes T3Ss started leaking around where the plastic meets the metal. All she has used in it is 24mg Extra Flavor Peppermint 24mg from ECBlends. Not sure if the liquid did it, but something did. That said, I am very happy to get 4 months use out of a $5 tank so either way, its no biggie. She also drops her stuff a LOT more than anyone I know. She was born with dropsies. Almost nightly she gets up out of her chair, her e-cig in her lap, and it hits the tile floor. Another reason she prefers the T3s over glass. She is just not careful with stuff. I bought an extra 5 pack of glass tanks for my Mini Davides and my KPT 2s not for me, but for when she knocks one off the table or something like that.

Getting a little discouraged
bcartervol98 replied to loneranger721981's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Well I assume you were smoking before you started vaping so the money you are spending is recouped quickly. Happy my wife Vapes too but wish she would take care of her own stuff. In 6 months she has filled 1 tank, while camping with her family and I was at work. She broke one T3S and just wrapped it up in a paper towel for me to "deal with" and just this morning she discovered another leaking where the plastic meets the metal and did the same lol. Good thing she is hot. Gonna give you my honest opinion and mean no offense but I find some people have unrealistic expectations. Not saying you do but I am sitting here with a Davide Mini with 1.8ohm coil of my morning flavor on top of a standard non VV Ego battery and am blowing clouds bigger than I would ever have gotten off an analog. I did nothing other than buy quality liquid and drip it into my tank. Don't make it so complicated abd if you want big clouds but some 65-70%vg liquid. Fuzion is my favorite overall and find 65vg 35pg to be my sweet spot. The clouds are so big I get concerned it is too much at work since I am in plain view in a large glass office. No complaints in overv 6 months so I guess it's no big deal. That's why I do not get all the wanting huge clouds personally. This is, to me personally, about maintaining a healthier alternative to smoking or tobacco products not setting a world record for a cloud of vapor. I would remind the wife and friends if you made a healthier choice that was at least same or most likely lower cost than the unhealthy choice you were making previously, like jogging vs getting stoned and eating whole pizzas, they would be proud and happy for you. How is this any different? -
Couple Kanger clearomizer questions
bcartervol98 replied to spydre's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Pretty sure the MT3S is still a plastic tank wrapped in metal so not sure there is a difference in taste. -
Couple Kanger clearomizer questions
bcartervol98 replied to spydre's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I seem to be going through phases. Love the spinner but for some reason I have two flavors that the std battery seems to hit the sweet spot for me. -
Couple Kanger clearomizer questions
bcartervol98 replied to spydre's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I find at this point in my going on 7 month experience that the harshness of PG I craved in the beginning to be the last thing I want now. About all I care about any more is taste and vapor production. I have also realized with a few flavors I love the way the standard non VV Ego batteries perform and have found I use my Vamo more at work and in the car than I do at home, completely opposite compared to a short time ago. -
Couple Kanger clearomizer questions
bcartervol98 replied to spydre's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I would order coils from you but hard to quantify how many I use really. I probably go through 2-3 5packs a month. I change them fairly often, too cheap to deal with burned taste lol. -
With Dragons Tear I never put a lid back on it. The taste transforms during the course of using the whole bottle. After a month or so of steeping the creaminess REALLY comes out.

Couple Kanger clearomizer questions
bcartervol98 replied to spydre's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I do have one Brick and Mortar I like called Vintage Vapors. Their liquids are $10 for 15ml and $14 for 30ml so very reasonable and high quality. Theirs is all 65pg 35vg, exactly opposite of my preferred mix of 65vs 35pg. I just do not like they are not customizable and have gotten to a point where I do not like anything over 50% PG, and I prefer 35%pg. Their hardware is more reasonable as in $25.99 for a KPT2, $8 for T3S, but coils are $3 each or 5 for $12. A SVD with ITaste is $99. Either way, I will buy some liquids from them every once in a while but would never buy hardware there. I am just happy there is a place that I like their liquids enough to use should an online ban actually come to fruition. -
Any suggestions on which tank I should buy
bcartervol98 replied to Patricia's topic in General Vaping Discussion
This is why I am hesitant to sell any of my Davide Minis even though they are mostly in the drawer going unused. I also have 10 T3S and 12 T2s that go unused except the 4 T3Ss my wife has in rotation. She could care less about glass vs plastic and says she cannot tell the difference. I tried a pull off hers and all I could taste was the plastic. I have my 4 KPT 2s that are always filled with my 4 daily drivers but I always have another 3-4 flavors I like occasionally and have been using my Mini Davides for those. Just picked up Strawberry Lemonade from VapeDudes (realized I had enough reward points to try a free flavor) and like it a lot. There may be more flavors that come along and it is not above me to have 10-12 tanks in rotation at the same time. -
Well it is New York where the "Nanny State Mentality" is reaching a breaking point. Look at what happened when the Police Chief tried to speak at Brown University and he is only enforcing laws others made. From banning big soft drinks to smoking to unconstitutional gun control and the climate (lol) I would have to say New York would be in my "Bottom 5 list" of places to live. Of course I live in the South, and if I ever move anywhere, it will be further South. I have turned down some very lucrative job opportunities from the Northern States but I HATE cold more than I needed the extra money.

bcartervol98 replied to Patricia's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Oh wow I did not know that. Then there is 0 reason to use it over a T3s given the cost difference. I thought it was glass. I would get wither 1 KPT2, 2 Mini Davides, or 3 T3S's. All scenarios would be close to the $20 mark. -

bcartervol98 replied to Patricia's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Unitank looks like a KPT 2 that can be filled from the top instead of the bottom. Looks like Kangers stab to convert more Vivi Nova users that want glass. Probably can't go wrong either way but I personally cannot think of anything that could be improved over the KPT 2. -
Seriously unless online sales are banned I imagine these stores popping up to cash in on the "Vape Rush" will start to fade away unless the FDA somehow bans or severely restricts online sales (which most of them are fighting for). It's just the world we live in. Like book stores in a way. Maybe I am too anti B&M but when they are largely in support of bans that would force me to shop in their ****ty overpriced store; I take it kind of personal.

Sure they can. They stopped online poker in the entire country for the most part. All it takes is a couple prosecutions and the rest see the risk is < the reward for one city. With that said I am sure anyone whether 15 or 20 will have little problem buying either analogs or e-cigs. Did we?

Couple Kanger clearomizer questions
bcartervol98 replied to spydre's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I still do not get why anyone would buy hardware at a brick and mortar unless it's just "in a pinch" when there are so many good suppliers out there in the online community. Those that are truly interested in helping educate and outfit people for vaping and selling good products. Especially when shipping is $3. I will buy liquids at a brick and mortar if I like it but also like to save money. A true Kanger T3S is about $6 on any reputable site and replacement coils are about $6 for a 5 pack. I have yet to see anything at any store that wasn't significantly more expensive than online even with shipping involved. I mean I know more overhead more profit needed to be in the black, I am in business. I get that but if people could order the product I sell online and get them shipped for $3 and avoid sales tax on top of that........I would be preparing for a job change lol. -

Got my "great deal" coil heads from Proetus today! Thanks again! -
Havent been able to put down the Endless Summer since Saturday afternoon lol. My other tanks are getting very little use. I may need to switch, the clouds in my office may garner unwanted attention from the powers that be lol.

Which is better? And another question
bcartervol98 replied to spydre's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Spydre I have never even held an Evod so can't compare to T3S but you just unscrew the base and fill. There is no plate with holes like Davide mini. As for batteries I only used Vision Spinner 1300mah before getting my Vamo and still use them from time to time. I have never used a Twist but I cannot imagine it is that much different outside the look and not being able to see the voltage settings as well. Heck sometimes I still use my std 1000mah Ego non VV when I want to have something smaller-portable or the mood strikes me. Tam I never had what I would call "trouble" filling them but when I started using my KPT 2 more it became obvious to myself that I liked it a lot better so I made the switch. The ease of filling is only one of the considerations for me and not as big as sturdiness, capacity, and liking the way it is built. They are both great tanks and I still use Davide minis for my occasional flavors. I vaped Apple Cinanna all day yesterday out of one. -
A day I always look forward to...
